Be sure to verify the warranty on any New In Box (NIB) engine over 2 production years in age. They do not have any warranty unless they have been individually approved by the Mercury Warranty Department. Not that they are not a bargain anyway, as they could be, though do not assume they will have full warranty without Merc putting their stamp of approval on it. This has been a Mercury Policy for several years after some damaged insurance engines got sold as new product. BCB
